I really do appreciate you showing the imperfect processes of manhood and the building process. Looks great! Man is fence building and gate building a different animal!
i really appreciate you keeping the mistakes in and making the project real. this is almost exactly what i want to do for my fence, so thanks for the tutorial!
I love that you kept the mistakes you made in the video. Keeping is real gives a novice such as myself a more realistic expectation. Great explanations, great camera work, and great job on that fence. Thanks so much!
Great job, truly appreciate a lot of the details you’ve explained in this video. I am a first time fence builder an am doing it on 2 acres. I am deep in the woods and fighting roots, but so far my posts are straight. All my progress is thanks to you.
BEST VIDEO EVER!.....I was soooo scared to put up a fence because I know NOTHING😁. Your visual aids helped out SOOOO MUCH! Thank you for being an EXCELLENT instructor ☺️
One of the best fencing videos I've seen here in UA-cam (and I've been watching many, MANY, WAY TOO MANY of them!) Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
Incredible instructional video. Enjoyed it Komar! I followed your steps, including renting the same auger, to be build a horizontal fence with a 1 inch spacing around my 1/2 acre property.. Like others said, this video should have more views. It's rare you click to the second page to find the content you need! This video should be front and center
I got this notification last night on my phone was all excited to watch it with a nice cup o' coffee and once again, you didn't disappoint! That fence is awesome! Wish I had those corner levels when I did my fence!
It looks great!! Always surprised at how much work and precision goes into something that appears simple. I think those inflatable shims might be the perfect giftee for certain people I know!

Hello my friend, It's great to see you again. You created a beautiful fence. The pillars and door are perfect. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. Stay healthy and happy. See you. Big greetings...
In the summer of 2000, I bought a house in Alberta with no fencing out back at all to keep our dogs in, so that was my first priority. I tried an auger (a big two-man one) and the rocks threw me and my brother-in-law right off that auger, nearling breaking our wrists. I found out from my elderly neighbour that back in the very early 1900s, hundreds of horse cart lods of river rock had been brought into the area as a base for the former stampede ground where our houses on the south end of the town were now built. I ended up having to dig 37 post holes by hand. Nine-foot posts with three feet in the ground.I over-spec'd the fence making sure each hole was bell-shaped for good centre of gravity and less prone to the fencing shifting over the years due to drost and wind. And I drilled each post and put a one-food piece of rebar through it (after re-treating each hole with rot-preventing treatment. It damned near killed me! I sold that house in 2005. In 2018 I drove past it and that fence still looked good.
In a couple places and in the thumbnail, there is a gate shown with the diagonal braces in tension instead of the usual compression. Because of the way the gate is built, with the diagonal overlapping and screwed in with multiple screws, I think this will work fine. But I am surprised people have not jumped all over it. Only a few comments. Wood is fine in tension. You just have to make sure you fasten it in a way so that it won't pull out when it is in tension.
Great Video, I also happened to notice at time frame 12:54 the support on your double gate is the wrong way. They should go from bottom hinge to top of gate latch. Hope this is helpful. You may have already caught it. Love the vids. Keep up the hard work.
Heres a tip. Instead of using stakes and lumber to steady your posts, use stakes and ratchet straps x 3..that way you can fine tune the post so that its in the perfect position before concreting. Ive done it a few times now with excellent results every time.
I loved watching this video, you have a beautiful place! Great fence, Ash hardwood fencing… that’s something special! Only hardwood i’ve ever used in fencing is oak gate posts as hardwood is pretty exspensive here in the UK, everyone’s got the same ideas of cutting up fallen trees into amazing lumber.
Ya I didn’t know you can use ash either. But after doing some research I found out that’s how the old timers did it for horse fencing cuz horses don’t like the taste of them
@@KomarProject oh really that’s interesting. That’s what they use creosote for too, it’s very nasty stuff it’s like coal tar or something. Very carcinogenic but VERY effective. They pressure treat it into softwood posts and it makes them completely rot, crack and weather resistant for 40+ years. It also tastes horrible so the horse won’t chew on the posts. It’s banned now in most countries but you can still get it in the form of posts
i build fences for a living and i would suggest trying the little beaver auger.. its got the exact same motor and its a quarter the size for less work and more maneuverability
I love your fence and am glad for all the tips and little tools that just will make it easier! Have to see if can afford this style, but I love the look of it for sure and that you don't have to do the whole stretching thing for the fence wire this way...that seems daunting lol thanks!
I love the ash! And thank you for sharing history on how fences were built with hardwoods such as poplar. Makes sense as treated wasn’t a thing back then except whatever oil or chemical a farmer had on hand 👍🏼Have plenty of it locally and it’s cheap. One thing, I’m wanting to add in a shorter fence up front of my house so my dogs can actually enjoy the shade and spy on neighbors... I’d actually want hog wire (my Aussies are rough and tumble and slam into the current fence I have our back) for my fence because it’s thicker. I think I’ll inset my wire into the panels but I love the classic style you went with and it absolutely fits the area and your other fence. Very nice
I’ve had so many of those pins shear I think they make them to shear off easier so you buy more , like you had with your auger I use for a tiller grade 8 and shear them all the time lol😂 need like a grade 2000 pin
I used bigger auger for my posts dingo but I live in cold ass Canada and needed 4 plus feet deep holes filled with slates of rock. I managed like 3 4’ deep holes outta 40.
Nice Ash! Always such fun watching your videos. I often use the fencing you used but have mixed feelings over the material. Hate it when those little welds pop off and you get a winger...frick...
Just so others know the bolts/pins that are attached to the PTO are designed to break incase it hits something hard. That way the cheap bolt will break and not the machine itself.
Did you secure the top of the wire fence to the top rail and other rails? I would have thought you would have stapled that but did not see any type of connection.
Ugh cement and wooden fence posts. I’ve built a few fences. Every fence post I put in cement, rotted way before ones I didn’t use cement in. I now only use cement in corner posts and hinge side of gates.
1 question for ya. Did you put the horizontal rails on the outside facing the neighbors or facing your property? Which has a better look? Thanks for the vid. This will be my next project.
awsome stuff, love the live edge planks on the gates! also thats a super nice and easy way to make the gates! I´d suggest to cut the top of the posts at an angle so water can run off and they don´t rot! Therse also metal caps available i think?!
fence looks good but some of the posts don't look very vertical. It could very well be the camera angles too since I noticed a lot of the shots are tilted. Maybe a tiny little stick on level for the camera too? those are pretty cheap on amazon
I've got a couple question, namely because of my experience with building fences growing up to keep goat and other small critters in that like the escape. When cutting the post why not use a chainsaw? Was using the staples easier than using fencing staples? Do your four-legged furry not try to leave the fenced area? Cause I think the fences are a little high off the ground from past experiences with animals that like to escape.
The chainsaw will work buy a little heavy for me up high. The stapes will work either way, but since I put the cross braces in the netting will stay in place either way. And as far a the animals, the old one won’t jump anymore and the bulldog, well he is just lazy lol
We have two dogs and so do our neighbors and so far non of them have dug under it. Just put the wire all the way down and hope for the best I guess lol
I never mix my cement. I always fill the hole halfway with water and pour the cement in until all the water overflows out of the hole. I use a stick to mix the cement periodically as I’m pouring it in. Mixing that cement is way too much work if you have a lot of posts.
I really do appreciate you showing the imperfect processes of manhood and the building process. Looks great! Man is fence building and gate building a different animal!

What a great video! To the point, no rambling! Thanks so much for your tutorial. I am very happy I saw this video
You are very welcome my friend
5:57 - I always thought I was the only one who liked making concrete more runny than not. Much easier to fix mistakes when its runny than dry!
BEST VIDEO EVER!.....I was soooo scared to put up a fence because I know NOTHING😁. Your visual aids helped out SOOOO MUCH! Thank you for being an EXCELLENT instructor ☺️
You are very welcome. And never be afraid. The worst that can happen is you mess it up and learn from it. Then you can fix it. You got this
One of the best fencing videos I've seen here in UA-cam (and I've been watching many, MANY, WAY TOO MANY of them!)

Thanks so much victor

Ya the post level is awesome. I use it on a lot of stuff
@@KomarProject looking forward to what you have done to the house. I see a couple things on IG but I love these videos you make.
Best video on youtube for Farm fence!
Man, you are putting in some serious work at the new property. Fence looks great!
Ya the honey do list just got bigger with this place lol
It looks great!! Always surprised at how much work and precision goes into something that appears simple. I think those inflatable shims might be the perfect giftee for certain people I know!

Thanks so much Sahane!! It did turn out great
Nice job Komar & Merry X'mas to you & your 3 pretty ladies at home.
Thanks so much B!! And merry Christmas to you too
Bart great video. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend keep making
Thanks man. I’m just glad it got done before the snow came
@@KomarProject yeah definitely good call

Man UA-cam did not give me notification on when your videos went out!! i missed the last 4 !!
Well dame UA-cam lol. Need to check them

Made them the same way, oh how many times I've done that, lol. Nice Job.
Inflatable time... I did not know such things existed..cool

Man, if you were local, I'd be over with my tractor and auger attachment, I built a fence with that and made it totally worth it.
Omg I would love that. I need one of those in my life
@@KomarProject I'm wondering why you didnt ask a friend over that may have one.
a trick: you can watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Niko Alfonso Definitely, I've been watching on flixzone} for years myself :)
This video has given me confidence to build my fence
Great job! Going to build my fence based on your video! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
i build fences for a living and i would suggest trying the little beaver auger.. its got the exact same motor and its a quarter the size for less work and more maneuverability
You’re amazing. It came out so beautiful. 😍
Thank you so much Lady

I love how at the beginning your like fencing is easy. I’m like OOHHKAAAY LOL then 3 min in you’re bent over hurtin bad lol. I laughed hard at this.
Great job and very helpful..Thank you
I'm definitely building a fence this year.
Fantastic job. Great teaching.
Great Job. solid looking fence
Thanks so much
Looking good man! I would suggest looking into Heritage Natural finishes to help preserve those ash boards. It will help a lot with their life span!
I may look into that. I just don’t want to loose the natural look
I love the ash! And thank you for sharing history on how fences were built with hardwoods such as poplar.

Thanks so much Jewdd!!! Really appreciate that
you never answered my question. which was, did you staple the mesh on to the rails?
I’ve had so many of those pins shear I think they make them to shear off easier so you buy more , like you had with your auger I use for a tiller grade 8 and shear them all the time lol😂 need like a grade 2000 pin
This was a great video and I really appreciate the links. Thanks
hi, loved yojur video., what size lumber did you use to build the gate?
I used bigger auger for my posts dingo but I live in cold ass Canada and needed 4 plus feet deep holes filled with slates of rock. I managed like 3 4’ deep holes outta 40.
Nice Ash! Always such fun watching your videos. I often use the fencing you used but have mixed feelings over the material. Hate it when those little welds pop off and you get a winger...frick...
Ohh I had no idea they pop off. I’m going to have to watch for that. Thanks Ed
Thank you for this. Great work. Will do this plan this weekend.
Phenomenal video! Great instruction and great work!
Thank you so much
Awesome video very detailed and the gate that came out awesome great job thank you so much
Great looking fence..
Thank you Peter !
Any tips for staining after its already built? I am wondering if it makes sense to spray and how that might be weird with the metal wire.
Great fence really like it
That’s so much Mellissa
Awesome job brother! It looks amazing 😁👊🏻
Thanks so much brother !
Awesome work! Thanks for sharing 👍.
Your very welcome Daniel !
What sizes diameter and height posts did you use and what kind of wood were they?
Just so others know the bolts/pins that are attached to the PTO are designed to break incase it hits something hard. That way the cheap bolt will break and not the machine itself.
like the dogs and thanks for you sharing !
Jealous of that auger! I’m in s Ohio. Clay sucks so bad and I’m digging posts with a manual post hole digger. Great video man!
great video. question though, did you staple the rest of the mesh on to the horizontal rails once they were put up? thank you very much.
Did you secure the top of the wire fence to the top rail and other rails? I would have thought you would have stapled that but did not see any type of connection.
Great work!!
Ugh cement and wooden fence posts. I’ve built a few fences. Every fence post I put in cement, rotted way before ones I didn’t use cement in. I now only use cement in corner posts and hinge side of gates.
Did you use any type of fence stretcher when installing the welded wire fencing?
Same question!
Omg. I just checked your channel like 10secs ago
Hahaha what perfect timing
Beautiful fence. Well done!
Nicely explained!
Thanks bob
1 question for ya. Did you put the horizontal rails on the outside facing the neighbors or facing your property? Which has a better look? Thanks for the vid. This will be my next project.
So typically you have to put the rails on your side according to code so you can accesss them. But that may vary per city.
awsome stuff, love the live edge planks on the gates! also thats a super nice and easy way to make the gates! I´d suggest to cut the top of the posts at an angle so water can run off and they don´t rot! Therse also metal caps available i think?!
That’s a great idea. Will also give it a cool look. Thanks Joker !
Amazing explanation. Thank you
How big is the double gate opening. Cheers.
The big one is a 12’ opening
Cold you run through how much it cost please?
So the story board marked the top of the posts regardless of the uneven ground level ?
fence looks good but some of the posts don't look very vertical. It could very well be the camera angles too since I noticed a lot of the shots are tilted. Maybe a tiny little stick on level for the camera too? those are pretty cheap on amazon
Ya it must be the camera also because of the hills it may throw off the visual of it. Thanks for pointing that out
Yes, I had learnt the same lesson...
Great video just the end product is not visible enough. At 12:38 you can see some, would be nice to see the whole thing.
I've got a couple question, namely because of my experience with building fences growing up to keep goat and other small critters in that like the escape. When cutting the post why not use a chainsaw? Was using the staples easier than using fencing staples? Do your four-legged furry not try to leave the fenced area?

The chainsaw will work buy a little heavy for me up high. The stapes will work either way, but since I put the cross braces in the netting will stay in place either way. And as far a the animals, the old one won’t jump anymore and the bulldog, well he is just lazy lol
I cant find where you say how far apart the posts are. what did you do? thanks
I love the look of this, and it looks like an easy build! How do you combat dogs digging under though?
We have two dogs and so do our neighbors and so far non of them have dug under it. Just put the wire all the way down and hope for the best I guess lol
get taller wire dig a line and bury it under the ground
Looks like someone has a lot of experience with spray paint tagging 😂
Just kidding, great video! Very informational!
I had my time in HS lol
Awesome job!
Great job!!
Thank you !!
Awesome. Now I want to hire you lol
Did you consider staggering the joints for the horizontal rails?
You totaly can. I just didn’t have 16” boards to do that. But it would be ideal
Any update on how this has held up? Anything you'd do differently?
Love this ❤
This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!
What size did u use for the ones that go in the ground?
How do you keep the same height on the posts if the land is not leveled?
If you want them all the same you can use a laser or Chalk line. But when you see most fences they follow the level of the ground.
You ain’t in the Komar Project deep enough if you don’t look at 4:05 and laugh to yourself remembering the ladder incident
Hahahaha I had to check what you are talking about. But now I know lol
Nice work
thank u, it's help me😀😊
what size wood are your using 1x4? 1x6?
Did you use 6x6 post instead of 4x4 at gate locations?
Great video. Thank you.
If we were building a similar fence, but with metal posts, would we be able to use most of this information?
Yup should be the same installation.
Sana all...
The diagonals should ideally point towards the lower hinge....although any diagonal is better than none
How did you make the fence keep straight on the incline shown at 12:40?
It's 2023 now. Would you say this is cheaper and easier to do than a chain link fence?
I never mix my cement. I always fill the hole halfway with water and pour the cement in until all the water overflows out of the hole. I use a stick to mix the cement periodically as I’m pouring it in. Mixing that cement is way too much work if you have a lot of posts.
Super helpful video! I missed this: how tall is the fence?
This one is 48”. Hope that helps
@@KomarProject I noticed the post is higher than 48". What is the length of the measuring stick that you used to cut the post? Thank you.
If you were looking for the rough as guts look then you achieved it.
I was. Thanks
